Labour election leaflet which accuses the Tories of 's******g on us to fund tax cuts for the wealthy' pulled from circulation in Kirklees

Labour has pulled a local election leaflet which accused the Conservative Party of "s******g on us to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and giant corporations" from circulation.

Kirklees Council deputy leader Shabir Pandor, election agent for the Batley East seat in which the leaflet was circulated, said local party figures did not notice the bad language when reproducing a graphic downloaded from the internet on the flyer.

He stressed that "not many" of the leaflets had been sent out and that the remainder would be destroyed, as a party source quipped: "It means thousands of leaflets down the pan, so to speak".
